legacy technology

Your high-stakes data projects don’t have to end – as analysts predict – in failure. Don’t just rely on legacy technology and outdated thinking - the key is to start your next data project armed with the right technology and mindset to succeed.
This paper will give you insights and guidelines to help you learn how to leverage all of your data to reach your data integration objectives with less time and expense than you might imagine. Change is good, and in this paper we’ll give you real-world examples of organizations that embraced change and found success.

Since the theme of this brief is to keep things simple, let’s be as simple and plain as possible: The customer experience (CX) is broken because the marketer experience is broken.
However, it’s not entirely marketing’s fault. Legacy technology provides only a distorted view of the customer. That’s what creates the broken experiences. It’s the same technology that—while providing rich behavioral, demographic, and preference data—does not allow for silos of data to be shared across channels.

With the digitization of modern life, consumers have come to expect the same kind of real-time response and control from mortgage companies as they have experienced in other aspects of their lives. As a result of pervasive services like two-day or even same-day delivery from Amazon Prime, TV On Demand and made-to-order Nikes, consumers expect underwriters to process loans and communicate with them in a similarly personalized, real-time way. In response, traditional mortgage originators are transitioning legacy processes to compete with the game-changing speed of born digital disruptors like Rocket Mortgage and Better.com. This infographic outlines the eight technology trends that are top-of-mind for leading lenders.

"To support digital transformation imperatives, organizations are increasingly exploring DevOps style approaches for the continuous delivery of high quality software. Unfortunately, however, many enterprises remain burdened with accumulated technical debt and legacy wasteful practices – waste that can quickly inhibit the flow of value to customers and the business. Lean thinking provides organizations with a framework by which to quickly identify all forms of waste impacting the flow of value, which DevOps practitioners can apply in a software development context to quickly pinpoint and eliminate 8 elements of waste across people, process and technology dimensions.
This paper presents the 8 elements of waste framework, strategies needed to identify and eliminate waste, and the metrics needed to measure effectiveness.

Deep learning opens up new worlds of possibility in artificial intelligence, enabled by advances in computational capacity, the explosion in data, and the advent of deep neural networks. But data is evolving quickly and legacy storage systems are not keeping up. Read this MIT Technology Review custom paper to learn how advanced AI applications require a modern all-flash storage infrastructure that is built specifically to work with high-powered analytics, helping to accelerate business outcomes for data driven organizations.

Our client is a very well-known, long-established bank with over 13 million customers across the globe. Over the years, they had built up a large and complex technological legacy. The landscape included over 1,000 different applications residing on a complex architecture and a hybrid mix of technology, which made testing the non-production environment an increasingly difficult task for quality assurance (QA) teams. Testing environments were fragmented, and this was compounded by a lack of ownership, governance processes, and communication regarding the status of environment readiness; causing delays, extending time to market, and increasing cost.

The Edge Completes the Cloud
Edge computing delivers the decentralized complement to today’s hyperscale cloud and legacy data centers. To maximize application potential and user experience, enterprise architects and technology innovation leaders need to plan distributed computing solutions.
Enabling this thinking is that although the cloud is becoming mainstream, that does not imply that all workloads will be placed in the cloud during the next decade or so. Technical incompatibilities, decades of embedded business logic in mainframe applications, government regulations and simple economics all conspire to keep some workloads out of the cloud, driving us toward a hybrid multi cloud future.

Today, government IT teams are expected to deliver more services with fewer resources. Consequently, many agencies have prioritized legacy modernization, interoperability and shared service models as a means towards increasing IT delivery capacity.
But those approaches are easier talked about than executed. As agencies embark on legacy modernization, it becomes imperative to open up the existing technology so that new innovations can be delivered as needed in a secure way.
In this guide, produced in partnership with Govloop, we will discuss
A five-play roadmap to help those in government get a better sense of where to start on modernization projects.

There are many ways to take advantage of the rich set of collaboration tools provided with Microsoft Lync. IT leaders should consider a cap-and-grow strategy where investment dollars in legacy systems are capped and the financial and IT resources are reallocated to grow Lync.
Once the company has a cap-and-grow Lync strategy, IT leaders should consider retirement of legacy infrastructure and how Lync can be leveraged as a replacement technology. Forward-looking IT leaders will consider Lync a strategic UC platform upon which to build a companywide collaboration strategy, rather than just a replacement for a legacy phone system. Get this report to read best practices for a Lync deployment.

Today's datacenter networks must better adapt to and accommodate business-critical application workloads. Datacenters will have to increasingly adapt to virtualized workloads and to the ongoing enterprise transition to private and hybrid clouds. Pressure will mount on datacenters not only to provide increased bandwidth for 3rd Platform applications such as cloud and data analytics but also to deliver the agility and dynamism necessary to accommodate shifting traffic patterns (with more east-west traffic associated with server-to-server flows, as opposed to the traditional north-south traffic associated with client/server computing). Private cloud and legacy applications will also drive
daunting bandwidth and connectivity requirements. This Technology Spotlight examines the increasing bandwidth requirements in enterprise datacenters, driven by both new and old application workloads, cloud and noncloud in nature. It also looks at how Cisco is meeting the bandwidth challenge posed by 3rd

Modern enterprises are rapidly shifting core business processes away from legacy
technologies and standardizing on mobile devices and cloud services. As a result,
these organizations are quickly outgrowing basic mobile device management (MDM)
capabilities and apps like email and calendar. Building a secure mobile and cloud
architecture now requires a comprehensive approach to enterprise mobility management
(EMM). It requires a unified platform with defense-grade security, massive scalability, a
broad ecosystem of technology partners, enhanced Office 365 security, and integrated
desktop and mobile management. And it has to provide all of this without locking
customers into a proprietary technology stack.

Governments have long found it challenging to modernize legacy IT systems. Now comes pressure to offer digital government services. However, which takes priority? The answer is both. But rather than thinking linearly, the smart way is to execute simultaneously by standing a traditional IT approach on its head. Government agencies need to use technology to develop proactive and digital government services, from the outside in, from the perspective of the constituent, while making modernizing adjustments. To be successful, it is critical for government agencies to move beyond traditional development methodologies by adopting an agile development approach. But what are the challenges? How can they modernize massive projects already in the works? In short, how to get there? Download this E-book and find out where government agencies are falling short and where they can improve regarding digitization.

Rather than simply enhancing and supporting traditional methods, the use of digital technologies should enable brand new types of innovation and creativity. However, most of us have grown up with rigid, legacy technology-based business systems—process-oriented and mostly built around predictable, repeatable steps. If this sounds familiar, your business model may now be under threat from “digital Darwinism”—a tipping point caused by digital technologies and downstream market effects. Or perhaps nimbler, lower cost-base competitors are about to overtake you with a more innovative approach, better use of data or smarter use of technology. In this climate, “business as usual” is certainly no longer good enough.

One of the biggest challenges for IT today, is that it is being asked to enable digital transformation and innovation within enterprises but is held back with aging, legacy infrastructure that does not scale and lacks the capabilities the business requires. Watch this video to hear IDC analyst Chandana Gopal’s viewpoint on why organizations need to create a modern B2B integration technology environment.
